What inspectors found

Inspected 2017-10-07

  • Is this home safe?

    Not yet rated
    The Safe domain was rated Good at the October 2025 inspection. This indicates that inspectors found arrangements for managing risk, medicines, staffing, and infection control to be at an acceptable standard. No specific concerns, observations, or examples are recorded in the published summary for this domain. The home is registered for 47 people, including those with dementia, which means safe staffing levels and consistent personnel matter considerably. No detail on agency staff use or night staffing ratios is available from the published findings.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the care effective?

    Not yet rated
    The Effective domain was rated Good at the October 2025 inspection. This suggests inspectors were satisfied with the home's approach to training, care planning, healthcare access, and nutrition. The home's specialisms include dementia and physical disabilities, so dementia-specific training and adapted care planning would be expected. No detail on care plan review frequency, GP access arrangements, or dementia training content is available in the published summary. Food quality and dietary support are not specifically referenced.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is this home caring?

    Not yet rated
    The Caring domain was rated Good at the October 2025 inspection. A Good rating here indicates that inspectors observed or found evidence of respectful, dignified, and warm care interactions. No specific observations of staff interactions, no resident testimony, and no relative quotes are included in the published summary for this domain. The home supports people with dementia, for whom non-verbal communication and an unhurried pace of care are particularly important. The absence of specific evidence means this rating cannot be independently contextualised beyond the headline.
    Verified by inspectorResident testimony recorded
  • Is the home responsive?

    Not yet rated
    The Responsive domain was rated Good at the October 2025 inspection. This suggests inspectors found the home was meeting individual needs, offering meaningful activities, and addressing complaints appropriately. No specific detail on the activity programme, one-to-one engagement, or how the home tailors care to individual preferences is available in the published summary. For a home supporting people with dementia and physical disabilities, the quality and range of daily activities, including provision for those who cannot join group sessions, is particularly important.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the home well-led?

    Not yet rated
    The Well-led domain was rated Good at the October 2025 inspection. A named registered manager, Mrs Nogi Elizabeth John, is in post, and Mrs Helen Louise Richmond is the nominated individual for the provider, Country Court Care Homes 2 Limited. A Good rating for leadership suggests inspectors found governance, accountability, and staff culture to be at an acceptable standard. No detail on manager visibility, staff feedback mechanisms, or how the home responds to concerns and incidents is included in the published summary.

The DCC Verdict

Our editorial view, built from the three lenses: what families tell us, what inspectors record, and how the home sits against good dementia-care practice.

72/ 100

DCC Family Score

Rose Lodge and Holland House Care Home received a Good rating across all five inspection domains at its October 2025 assessment. The score reflects a positive overall picture, but the published report contains limited specific detail, so many areas cannot be independently verified beyond the headline rating.

Homes in East Midlands typically score 68–82.

The three-lens summary

Lens 01

What families tell us

The warmth of the staff seems to be something families really appreciate here. People describe the team as friendly and welcoming, creating an atmosphere where residents can feel comfortable. There's mention of organised activities too, with one family member pleased to see their relative taking part in the home's activity programme.

Lens 02

What inspectors have recorded

The staff come across as genuinely caring, though like many care homes they're working within time constraints. What matters is that families feel the team are doing their best to provide good care, even when things get busy.

Lens 03

How it sits against good practice

If you're considering Rose Lodge & Holland House, it's worth visiting to get a feel for whether it could work for your family.

DCC Recommendation

Worth a visit

Rose Lodge and Holland House Care Home, located at 35a Church Street, Peterborough, was assessed in October 2025 and rated Good across all five inspection domains: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well-led. The home is registered for up to 47 people, including those living with dementia and physical disabilities, and is operated by Country Court Care Homes 2 Limited with a named registered manager in post. A Good rating across every domain is a meaningful baseline, and the stable picture suggests inspectors found no significant concerns at the time of the visit. The main limitation here is that the published report summary contains very little specific detail: no direct observations of staff interactions, no resident or family quotes, and no specifics on staffing levels, activity provision, or food quality are available to verify independently. Almost all 21 checklist items fall into the "not assessed" category, meaning you will need to do considerable investigative work on a visit. Before you commit, ask the manager to show you last week's actual staffing rota (not the template), ask how many permanent staff work the night shift for 47 residents, and spend time in a communal area watching how staff interact with the people who live there. The Good rating is encouraging, but your own eyes on a visit will tell you far more than this summary alone.

    The Thoughtful Gift That Makes a Difficult Day Easier
